A small-grower Sancerre from the village of Bué, where the Thirot-Fournier family has farmed for generations. Vieux Pruniers is the kind of estate that flies under the radar: family-run, hand-harvested, vinified cleanly to let Sauvignon Blanc and the Loire's chalky soils do the talking. The 2025 is bright and energetic, with the citrus, white flowers, and stony cut that define great Sancerre. A wine for spring oysters, weeknight dinners, and anyone who likes Sancerre that tastes like Sancerre.
